Nancy & Richard
Wedding Party
Katy Reno Davenport
Co-Matron of Honor
Katy is my cousin but since we were toddlers she's been pretty much my sister. Despite growing up on opposite sides of the country, we were best friends and were often punished for making very-expensive long-distance phone calls too often. When together we could usually be found eating cake, running around in Dover or Oregon butt-naked, or putting on dress-up shows for our parents. Katy lives in England now so thank God for free Facetime.
Phil Scioli
Best Man
Creator of the Felice Pour, which is a glass of wine filled to the brim, Phil is my brother! Even with a thousand-plus heated basketball games we remain best buds.
Justine Chilvers
Co-Matron of Honor (in absentia)
Justine has been my best friend since 6th grade in Winsor, specifically the day we went to the Topsfield Fair. She yelled at me for walking too fast and far ahead of her, and then we both got sick on the most absurd amusement park ride together. The rest is history. Now, thankfully, we live in NYC just a few blocks from each other (not intentional at all on my part...) Justine will be 9 months pregnant (or maybe even a new mom!) by the time of our wedding so will be cheersing us from afar!
Nick Lazares
Groomsman
Nick is my oldest friend and responsible for about 97% of my worst fashion choices over the years. Various bright colored pants? You bet. Other than that we have shared countless good times, and he has been a great supportive figure in my life.
Kirstin Dicecca
Bridesmaid
Kirstin is another of my oldest and best friends going back to our days at Winsor. We then went to Tufts University as well, though she was the more experienced sophomore by the time I arrived after my year off in Paris. I don't have a lot of memories at Winsor that don't involve Kirstin, and so many of my favorites have been together on Cape Cod. She's smart, tough, and just the perfect amount mischievous.
Anthony Balzebre
Groomsman
180 mph. That’s how fast this maniac lives his life. Anthony is also one of my oldest friends and we have shared some of the best adventures together. He has a habit of completely re-arranging my furniture when he stays at my apartment. It’s fine though.
Katherine Minton Gray
Bridesmaid
Katherine and I met at Winsor many many years ago and then went to school together again for our MBAs at Tuck. Until New York, I'd never lived anywhere for long without having Kat nearby, and I am so grateful for that Kat is one of those people you just fall in love with quickly because she is always smiling, always genuine and just the right amount of sassy.
Aden Johnson
Groomsman
Aden is from Florida, but we don’t hold it against him (much). A man for any occasion, Aden and I worked at Ralph Lauren and we’ve crawled all over the great city of New York. He’s a great friend and an even better person.
Susanna Twarog
Bridesmaid
I've known Sus since we were in 7th grade together. We used to bond over shopping trips to Abercrombie & Fitch and she is one of the few girls I could talk on the phone with hours. After a long stretch in NYC, Sus moved back to Boston and luckily for me, moved in across the street. Having her close-by over the subsequent couple years was such a source of happiness - she even got me to run my first half marathon (a feat I never thought would happen at the time). She is always one to push me out of my comfort zone, in the best of ways!
Bill Walton
Groomsman
Bill is Nancy’s brother and whether he likes it or not is now my little brother in law. Thrilled to have gotten to know him and see him thrive out in California.
Louise Giannakis
Bridesmaid
Louise is Richard's cousin and has become a close friend over the last 6+ years. She is a total smartie, having recently graduated from Boston College Law. She's hilarious, super down to earth, and a total rockstar in the kitchen, plus she shares my affinity for wine so we've had many a fun evenings relaxing together on the porch of Hawthorne House in Hyannis Port drinking rose. With Louise around it's impossible to not have the best time, and I am so blessed to get her (and her entire family) as my new extended family!
